​
At Reach Sports Physiotherapy & Hand Clinic, we provide Advanced Dry Needling and Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) Therapy in Edmonton to help reduce pain, release muscle tension, and improve mobility. These techniques are especially effective for targeting chronic pain and muscle dysfunction, and are part of our personalized approach to rehabilitation and recovery. Whether you’re dealing with persistent injuries, sports-related muscle tightness, or nerve-related pain, our clinic can help you get lasting relief.
What is Dry Needling and IMS Therapy?
Dry Needling and IMS (Intramuscular Stimulation) are advanced physiotherapy techniques that use thin, sterile needles inserted into specific muscle tissues known as myofascial trigger points—tight, sensitive areas that can cause pain and limit movement. This approach helps reset the muscle's normal function, reduce tightness, and restore healthy nerve-muscle interaction.
​
While similar in appearance to acupuncture, Dry Needling is rooted in Western medicine and neurophysiology, focusing on the musculoskeletal system rather than traditional Chinese meridians. Dry Needling and IMS are often used together to effectively treat a wide range of physical conditions.
Conditions Treated with Dry Needling/IMS
Dry Needling and IMS Therapy are proven to be effective for a variety of pain conditions, including:
​
-
Chronic muscle and myofascial pain
-
Sports injuries, such as muscle strains and overuse injuries
-
TMJ dysfunction (jaw pain and tightness)
-
Headaches and migraines are linked to muscular tension
-
Back and neck pain from posture or nerve-related muscle issues
​
These treatments are often used in combination with other physiotherapy interventions to enhance recovery and reduce the need for medication or more invasive procedures.
